CORPS Photos
The corps’ unusual name is said to have derived about 1954 from the fact they hailed from apple-picking country in New York, and that they “knocked” around the country to different events. Appleknockers soloist Frankie Farr is the man Appleknocker historians credit with having played the first field solo in drum corps history.
